This review is from: John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980 (DVD)

A great sounding show and excellent performance from all involved, heart-wrenching at times and belly-laugh inducing at others.

The DVD authoring isn't fancy but it all works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great performance - poor quality disc, April 3, 2007

This review is from: John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980 (DVD)

This is vintage Prine and I was definitely excited when I saw the announcement of the DVD release. However the video quality of the copy I bought is extremely poor with excessive dropout and lots of video noise. I've had a copy of this program which was recorded off the air on VHS 25 years ago and the quality is as good as this official DVD release.

4.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!!, April 11, 2007

This review is from: John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980 (DVD)

I saw this soundstage show when it first aired in 1980 and loved it. His backup band with John Burns is fantastic. My only disappointment with this dvd is that the sound quality is good but not great, so it might not get played as much as I'd like. i recognize that it's 27 years old, but as a comparison, Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall is 36 years old and that sound quality is fantastic. Go figure. Still a thumbs up and all true Prine fans should have it in their library.
